Abstract:
Purpose:In order to improve the survival rate of recurrent ovarian carcinoma, influencing factors and the effects of combined therapy of recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma were investigated. Methods:From January 1998 to December 2000,60 patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma were enrolled in the present study as research arm. The procedures of the combined treatment were as follows: After second cytoreductive surgery, platinum sensitive patients were treated with TP regimen (taxol+DDP) or CC regimen (CBP+CTX) and platinum resistant patients used TM regimen(taxol+MMC) or VM regimen(VP 16+MMC). Chemotherapy with 2/3 doses was continued after disease remission. Pelvic radiotherapy was performed for those with pelvic residual disease. IFN and/or IL 2 were administrated during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 167 patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma from January 1986 to December 1997, were retrospectively classified as control arm in this study. The patients were mainly treated with combined chemotherapy (CAP regimen) and traditional Chinese medicine applied as adjuvant therapy. Results:The rates of CR and PR in the research arm differed significantly from that in the control arm (43.33%, 45.00% vs. 2.99%, 7.78% P = 0.000). The 1 , 2 and 3 year survival rates of the research arm and control arm were 89.38%, 79.69%, 71.25% vs. 64.58%, 40.39%, 31.20% respectively ( P
